This year, NXNE has made it easier for fans to get in to see their favourite bands. Instead of cursing the bouncer because the venue\u2019s hit capacity, NXNE will offer festivalgoers a chance to purchase advanced tickets for select shows. Tickets for Northby Advanced shows are $20-$35 and are on sale now at\u00a0www.nxne.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, fans who purchase three Northby Advanced tickets can upgrade to a full-festival platinum badge for an additional $60. As usual, that platinum badge will grant access (19+ and subject to capacity) to every NXNE show. Four-day ($49) and single day ($30) wristbands will also return for NXNE 2015, providing festivalgoers access to premium Clubland shows at venues including: Adelaide Hall, The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern, Lee\u2019s Palace, The Garrison, The Silver Dollar, and many more.<\/p>\n
